Aims

The IJAAPR is dedicated to advancing knowledge by publishing outstanding research in a variety of fields. It upholds the policy that each paper must pass the requirements of an independent, double-blind peer-reviewing system and editing for the publication to be considered of high scientific and academic quality. This international peer-reviewed open access journal was initiated as a result of the primary advocacy and intention of the founding editor-in-chief to acknowledge the research outputs of senior high school students as well as the research of public and private school teachers and undergraduate and graduate students in order to have a wider distribution of the articles that others may use for their own respective studies.

This is also anchored on the DepEd Order No. 66, s. 2007—Revised Guidelines on the Appointment and Promotion of Other Teaching, Related Teaching and Non-Teaching Positions, MEC Order No., 10 s. 1979—Implementing Rules and Regulations for the System of Career Progression for Public School Teachers, and the Republic Act No. 10912—An Act Mandating and Strengthening the Continuing Professional Development Program for All Regulated Professions, Creating Continuing Professional Development Council, and Appropriating Funds Therefor, and for Other Related Purposes, known as the “Continuing Professional Development Act of 2016”, in terms of innovation, research and development projects, and publication and authorship.

If the submitted paper doesn’t meet the expected criteria of less than 20 percent (similarity index) and the scope of the study doesn’t match the requirements of the journal, it will be rejected, resubmitted, or declined for submission. The review process will take two weeks to give ample time to the reviewers to scrutinize the technical aspects of the study.

In general, the reviewers will be chosen by the Editor-in-Chief based on their field of specialization in research, and he will send an invitation letter to each, notifying them about the deadlines of the double peer review process. Two weeks will be given to each reviewer to complete their review task. The authors will be notified regarding their submission through email whether the manuscript is accepted, rejected, resubmitted, or declined based on the double peer review process, the verdict of the Editor, and also the final decision of the Editor-in-Chief.

Reviewers and editors are responsible for providing a constructive and prompt evaluation of submitted research papers based on the significance of their contribution and the rigors of analysis and presentation.
